Why Julia Roberts is made with romantic comedies

If we rewind the VHS memory tape to the heyday of the romantic comedies of the 1990s, there were two queens of the genre who remain, to this day, irreproachable icons: Julia Roberts Y Meg Ryan.

But the "Pretty Woman" star, Julia, 50, believes she may have outgrown the romantic comedy genre.

In an interview with ET On Sunday, the actress spoke about her new thriller "Homecoming", which reunites her with her co-star of "My Best Friend & # 39; s Wedding" Dermot Mulroney for the third time, and discussed why he will never return to romantic comedies.

"I do not know," Roberts said of the possibility of filming another comedian with Mulroney. "Unless we become the parents of the people who are in the making".

"You're never too old for a rom comedy!" Keltie Knight of ET said in response.

"Oh, I would not agree with that," Roberts said. "Obviously, some people do not disagree with that, I'm not here to say if they should or should not, but for me, it's funny, there came a time in my career when people thought I had activated romantic comedies. I love them, I love being in them. "

"I love seeing them," he continued. "But sometimes, they just do not work at a certain point in the life experience, it's not even about age, it's just about what people know you know."

Meanwhile, Roberts had nothing but good things to say about meeting Mulroney. In addition to "My Best Friend's Wedding," the actors also performed together in the 2013 drama "August: Osage County." In "Homecoming," Roberts and Mulroney play a couple from time to time.

"It was fun and a lot of fun," Roberts said of working with Mulroney again. "I thought I was really inspired by [creator Sam Esmail] to love Dermot, who was very selfish, he just wanted Dermot and me to be together. "

"[Mulroney] I just made a meal of this part, "he continued. I think because people think of us together, it allowed us to do more … It was fun, it was difficult to keep a straight face at all times. "

Season 1 of "Homecoming" will be released to Amazon Prime on November 2.
